The warm weather will soon be coming and flea and tick season will be
upon us once again. I am the proud owner of 2 one year old cats ( 1
male, 1 female ). Last year, I adopted the 2 cats who are brother and
sister and who were left as strays in a cardboard box on a boating dock.

Anyway, even though they are both fixed, the male goes outside now
because he is the bigger of the two, and he is a GREAT hunter because he
catches mice for us that wander near the house and/or garage. But the
thing that worries me is that the people who live next door to us (
about 10 feet separates our houses ), have about 20 sh.t Zu dogs running
around in their yard ( chain fenced ). They also run a dog breeding and
dog grooming service, so there are dogs constantly coming and going.

I have seen both my cats starting to scatch themselves all over the past
few days, and now I am worried. Hopefully its just dry skin, and not
dredded fleas!!!!!  But to be on the safe side, I still want to protect
them with fleadops. I have read that "Advantage" is the best, but its
also expensive, like $45 dollars I think. I have seen cheaper ones in
the store such as "Zodiac" flea drops for as little as $7.99 which says
100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back, as well as "Hartz
Advanced Care" flea drops for $12.99 which claims to kill both fleas and
flea eggs.

But are these ones any good??? Do they work or are they a waste of
money??? Are they safe??? I would like to get "Advantage"  but I am
currently only working part-time, and can't really afford it, but I
don't want fleas in my home, but from the cats scatching up a storm, it
may be to late???  Do the "Hartz Advanced Care" flea drops work, or do I
need to buy the "Advantage"??? Any info. will greatly be appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!
